This is just one of the first in what Bwog assumes will be a veritable onslaught of Halloweenish events. We'll keep you posted.

Bacchanal is hosting an event on the steps today, some sort of crazy Halloween/study break mashup entitled "A Ghoulish Day on the Steps" today from 3:00PM - 7:00PM.

The free highlights include: tongue-scalding cider, critter-shaped cookies, pie of pumpkinal origin, and unspecified giveaways.

Two contests will also grace the steps this afternoon: a costume contest, and a pumpkin-carving contest. Bring your (hopefully carved) pumpkin to the steps by 6:00 PM to enter the contest -- $100 to the winner!
